You can give https://intrgr.com a try. It standardizes the Article format (removing clutter), gives you related articles from around the web, and recommendations if you make an account.

I made it because the web has become unreadable for me.

I save everything to pocket that I want to read later while browsing the web. I use feedly for RSS feeds that go to pocket. I have a script that tags pocket articles.

Care to share the script and how it tags the articles? Sounds interesting.

Like many others I use RSS pretty much exclusively (using native clients on MacOS and iOS). I use reader mode by default in those apps and for my web browser too. HN is the only non-RSS sites read regularly.

The one site I'd like to read but don't is Scott Galloway's -- he doesn't have an RSS feed and it's just not worth visiting the site to see if there's anything new.

I assume you're aware HN has an RSS feed? That's actually how I get to HN. I never actually read the front page directly...

Been reading a lot of longer articles and papers lately. If the author doesn't provide a PDF, I roll my own -- using Reader Mode and Print To File. I store a copy in Zotero so I can keep track of things and so I can add notes. This enables distraction free reading and lets me archive the stuff I'm reading. Used to have a similar workflow with Polar instead of Zotero, but switched to Zotero.

I'm using Polar for this and am pretty happy with it, especially with the page marks for reading progress and with the highlighting/annotations.

I'm not too familiar with Zotero. Does it have similar features, or do you just use it for storage and read/annotate in your PDF viewer?

Pocket + Kindle. Kindle doesn't do it automatically, but (e.g.) P2K handles the automation side. https://p2k.co/

This seems like a better free service. http://www.klip.me/sendtokindle/

Will try it out, thanks for the heads up.
